Bioidentical hormones in Columbus: what it means
"Bioidentical" describes a hormone whose chemical structure matches one the body makes. Two hormones used in menopause care fit it exactly, estradiol and micronized progesterone. Both come in FDA-approved prescription forms, from estradiol pills, patches, gels and vaginal forms to progesterone capsules.
Compounded hormones are a different thing: a pharmacy prepares them for one patient, as a cream, a capsule or a pellet. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, so the FDA cannot assure their safety, effectiveness or dose. The FDA says it has no evidence that compounded "bioidentical hormones" are safe and effective, or more effective than FDA-approved hormone therapy. The National Academies, reviewing them for the FDA in 2020, called their wide use a public health concern.
You do not choose a "bioidentical" product from a menu: after a private intake, a physician licensed in Ohio decides what, if anything, fits, and the form. VevaMD does not offer pellets. The pharmacy that fills VevaMD prescriptions also compounds, so ask your physician whether yours is an FDA-approved product or compounded. Two options are compounded for certain: testosterone cream for women and Bi-Est are not FDA-approved.
For its size, Columbus is well supplied with OB-GYNs: the NPI registry lists 224, or 24.7 per 100,000 residents, against 17.8 for the US and above Ohio's 17.4. With about 98,405 women aged 45 to 64 living in Columbus, that is about 440 for each OB-GYN in the city, before counting any younger patients.
Widen the circle and the count grows: 251 in the city or within 10 miles, 378 within 25 miles. For the 1,793,139 people who live within 25 miles, that is 21.1 per 100,000. None of this replaces your own OB-GYN or a menopause doctor you trust; VevaMD adds an online route, with a physician licensed in Ohio reviewing your answers from home in Columbus.
A pellet clinic is a different model: it implants a hormone pellet under the skin during a visit, and compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. The Endocrine Society points to a study that found hormone levels well above the expected range in women using them. ACOG recommends FDA-approved menopause hormone therapy over compounded hormones.

Is bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) available in Columbus?
Online, from a physician licensed in Ohio, who can prescribe estradiol and micronized progesterone, both bioidentical, after a private intake. Ask your physician whether yours is an FDA-approved product or compounded.
How is online hormone therapy in Columbus different from BHRT pellets?
Pellets are placed under the skin in a clinic, and compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. Through VevaMD there is no procedure: a pill, patch, cream or vaginal form ships to Columbus if your physician prescribes it. Some forms VevaMD's physicians prescribe are compounded as well; ask which yours is.
